The maestro is going to be put out by Visuaide and probably there'll be some
sort of announcement when it comes out and likely there is someone on this
list who gets the Visuaide's newsletter.
Anyway, the best thing to do is probably wait about 6 weeks and see what the
convensions bring because that is when the summer shows start and go up on
visuaide's site
www.visuaide.com and look under the "what's new" part and just keep checking
back over the summer.
I happened to be at the presentation at csun and believe me, when Maestro
hits the market, the other 2 main manufacturers will really begin to start
thinking.
I am going to get one maybe next fall, but it certainly will not take the
place of my precious bn but it will be something I can use in the kitchen
with my recipes.
